Little Feat (1969–72)
* Lowell George - vocals, guitar, harmonica
* Bill Payne - vocals, keyboards
* Roy Estrada - bass, backing vocals
* Richie Hayward - drums, backing vocals
Lowell George met Bill Payne when George was a member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention. Payne had auditioned for the Mothers, but had not joined. They formed Little Feat along with former Mothers' bassist Roy Estrada and drummer Richie Hayward from George's previous band, the Factory. The name of the band came from a comment made by Mothers' drummer Jimmy Carl Black about Lowell's "little feet." The spelling of "feat" was an homage to The Beatles.
